SUBJECT CENTRE EVENTS:
1.  SELLING LANGUAGES: CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS
Wednesday 12 November 2003 - The Women's Library, nr. London
Metropolitan University
This event will look at some of the findings of recent research into
attitudes towards language learning at post 16 and post 19 level and
will explore some of the curriculum developments that can and are being
adopted to switch students back on to language learning and to respond
to the "changing needs of students". Examples will be offered of ab
initio degree programmes, the 3-year degree and the development of
foundation degrees. We will also look at the ways in which the proposed
"Language Ladder" relates to progression in language learning at HE
level.  If you would like to register for this event please visit:

learning, teaching and assessing of intercultural skills. It will
present examples of practical approaches to intercultural teaching
(tasks, tools and methods) and consider research findings on the
impact/outcomes of intercultural learning. It will also consider the
role of the educator - (inter)cultural attitudes, values and being.

The forum will be chaired by Mike Byram (University of Durham) and will
combine formal presentations and workshop/ discussion sessions.

9. IRISH STUDIES IN THE CURRICULUM - Friday 7 November 2003 - Senate
House, London
In the last 20 years, Irish Studies has established an identity not
just as a research specialism but as a focus for teaching. The term
'Irish Studies' serves to describe curricula which draw on a range of
discourses which in turn are inflected by debates within and between
academic disciplines. This symposium on 'Irish Studies in the
Curriculum' will give delegates the opportunity to reflect on
approaches to, and strategies for, the delivery of curricula or
elements of curricula which focus on representations of Ireland and
Irishness. (Please note this event is free of charge)
For a preliminary programme and to register:
